ArcGIS Enterprise Life Cycle

Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0, Esri will introduce updates to clarify further the level of support Esri plans for each release.

The release of ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0 marks the start of a new product life cycle for ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows and Linux. With this update, all supported versions of ArcGIS Enterprise will always be eligible for security patches in either general availability or extended support.  Long-term support releases will be supported for approximately four years, and short-term support releases will be supported for approximately one year.  See the release notes in the table above for more information on the product life cycle dates for each release. This update will not impact any versions of ArcGIS Enterprise released before ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0.

Along with all components of the ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment (Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Data Store, ArcGIS Web Adaptor), all server licensing roles of the ArcGIS Server software components follow the same product life cycle as the main ArcGIS Enterprise version.

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes has a separate product lifecycle.

ArcGIS Enterprise extensions include the following:

• ArcGIS Aviation Airports
• ArcGIS Aviation Charting
• ArcGIS Data Interoperability
• ArcGIS Data Reviewer
• ArcGIS Defense Mapping*
• ArcGIS Knowledge
• ArcGIS Indoors
• ArcGIS IPS
• ArcGIS Maritime
• ArcGIS Mission
• ArcGIS Network Analyst
• ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing
• ArcGIS Production Mapping*
• ArcGIS Roads and Highways
• ArcGIS Topographic Mapping*

* Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0, ArcGIS Defense Mapping and ArcGIS Production Mapping tools will be included as part of the new ArcGIS Topographic Mapping extension. They will continue to be available in versions before ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0.

All patches and hotfixes that are available for a particular version have the same support life cycle as the version they address.
